Biography
Zakariya Essabar was born on 13 April 1977 in Morocco, and he moved to Germany in 1997. He studied medical technology at the University of Hamburg in 1998, and through the Muslim community he met Ramzi bin al-Shibh and the Hamburg Cell of al-Qaeda. Essabar became more religious and lived in the Hamburg cell apartment, and in 1999 he became radicalized. He learned combat skills and passport alteration in Afghanistan in a training camp, and he delivered a message about the date of the 9/11 attack from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to bin al-Sheikh, although he did not know the significance of 11 September 2001's date.
